Yes, please go to a rescue, there are so many benefits in addition to helping a charity.


We got our cats from Battersea when they were kittens and they are lovely, affectionate creatures. I've heard some people say that they think cats from rescues will have "an attitude" but this really is ridiculous.


Benefits of adopting from a rescue include: free or reduced low-cost neutering, free or reduced cost initial vaccinations, free microchipping, possibly a few weeks free food, possibly free insurance for a month or so (Battersea offer this, not sure about other rescues). Also advice and support.


Also, not all rescues have long-winded adoption procedures, Battersea certainly doesn't. Not sure about the others but would still recommend going to a rescue, even if they do, as at least you know that their kittens/cats will have been health-checked, defleaed and wormed etc.

definitely second Celia Hammond. We were turned down by Battersea for kittens because we both worked full time (at that time), whereas CH wanted us to take more than 2 - their view was our house was better than their pen, and the kittens would have each other (and wouldn't be kittens for long) while we were at work. They were very supportive whilst our semi-feral kittens settled in. Even though we don't qualify for their low-cost vet care they are happy to treat them as their feralness makes it difficult for us to take them to a regular vet (and we always make a donation).

Yes please adopt a kitten from a rescue center. I've got two lovely cats and they both came from North London Cat Home, I've had no problems at all with them and they really are the most affectionate cats I've ever met. A bit more like dogs really - so sociable and friendly. A bit high maintenance in my opinion but that's probably due to the fact mu husband and I spoil them!


There are SO many cats and kittens that need a new home. Celia Hammond is great and do such amazing work around south London, it's kitty season now so they are probably more than happy to help.

    • If the product states that it's not suitable for anyone under the age of 18 on the package, were you not given a warning by the brand itself? Why would any advice provided by H&B assistants override that?

    • I don’t think Reform will withstand the heat of any election.  Finding enough people to stand will be bad enough. Finding credible ones quite a bid tougher  I think yes this government is lacking in a long term plan and has not had a good first year. Today the least.   but the speed with which this was dealt with is a notable shift compared to last 14 years where months would drag by and we would constantly be told to draw a line under  if Labour called an election tomorrow, there is not a single party that could present a better alternative with any credibility. And that’s a low bar Reform are dangerous lunatics but more worrying is the descent of the Tories into the same swamp i also worry that England voters have contracted some melodrama virus after the Tories where we had 5 PMs in almost as many years  it’s ok for governments to be unpopular without needing to have an election every 1-2 years       Looks like Lucy Connolly will me one of those Reform candidates at next election tells you everything you need to know about that party and where the country would be headed
